"Oh? Since I've been born in this era, its doomed to be mine," Fang Tien smiled confidently.
"While some confidence is good to have - being overly confident just leads to rash arrogance, child. Besides, you're still a baby and far too young. The immortal physique has been born a decade earlier than you. The experience will be hard to make up. Not to mention that their innate talent seems to be higher than yours," the immortal ancient tree sighed.
"How would you know that? Have you seen them?" Fang Tien asked.
"I've seen them, yes. I'm quite good friends with the Immortal Protector of the Frost Sect.
"While the other larges clans are strong in their own rights, only two will have the same era genius comparable to yourself."
"Although you've seen some of the other races that exist, there are many more, such as the Dwarf race who excel at the craftsmanship. The Elf race, which you will shortly see after leaving our Du Clan space. The Demonic Beast race, the Elemental race who make up the elemental alliance, a large sect comprising of the elemental clans."
"Now, as you know our Sky world cultivation system is dominated by magic. At the age of 5, each child is tested for their magical aptitude and most importantly their elemental attribute which consist of the 7 elements: fire, water, earth, wind, nature, ice, darkness, and light. Based on how high their magical aptitude is and their innate elemental attribute they could be recruited into the elemental alliance sect," the immortal ancient tree said."
"Child, while magicians have large means of destruction and high attack power; it's also their weakness. As the stronger the spell, the longer the cast time. Most recently magicians have chosen to travel with sword cultivators as a protector. It allows them to get the time needed to cast their strongest spells."
"Magicians are ranked differently from other cultivators using a numbered system - their rank 9 being the highest, comparable to our immortal pupil rank."
"I've taught you everything I can at your current state. Take this gift, child," The immortal ancient tree said.
A rustling sound could be heard as a large branch of the ancient immortal tree shook. A lone leaf separated, falling downwards. This tree seemed ancient in nature and incomparably huge. As the leaf fell it seemed to cover all of Fang Tien's vision of the sky!
The closer this tree seemed to fall towards Fang Tien the faster it seemed to rapidly shrink. It reduced in size and fell within Fang Tien's palm. It seemed to lose all its divine nature and looked like any other ordinary leaf.
"This leaf will only act to protect you once from death. It can be stored within a space ring. I've told the elders to provide you with one along with all your necessities inside and 2 traveling companions and a maid. Oh, how quickly they grow," The ancient immortal tree sighed.
Fang Tien looked upon this Ancient tree that towered over the Du clan world, seeming to want to imprint its very essence within his memory and eyes.
"Thank you, Master." Fang Tien bowed for the 2nd time in his life, the first being when he had to kowtow to the immortal ancient tree to acknowledge her as his master.
"Goodbye, child," The immortal ancient tree said sadly as a branch waved, opening a slit in the space that sucked Fang Tein in.
